The Pedals Just Fell Off My San Antonio Rose

She bloomed in the heart of a Texas spring,
With a smile like the sun and a voice to sing.
But the winds of change, they blow so cold,
And my San Antonio rose won’t hold.

Time takes its toll, the story shows,
The pedals just fell off my San Antonio rose.

Love was a garden, wild and free,
But storms rolled in, and it withered in me.
The beauty we had, now nobody knows,
‘Cause the pedals just fell off my San Antonio rose.

I picked her up on a warm July night,
Held her close ‘neath the pale starlight.
But seasons shift and the rivers dry,
Now the bloom is gone, and I’m askin’ why.

Dreams fade to dust, that’s how it goes,
The pedals just fell off my San Antonio rose.
Love was a garden, wild and free,
But storms rolled in, and it withered in me.
The beauty we had, now nobody knows,
‘Cause the pedals just fell off my San Antonio rose.

Every rose has its thorn, they say,
But I never thought she’d fade away.
Now I stand where the garden grows,
With nothing but thorns and a memory that shows.

Love was a garden, wild and free,
But storms rolled in, and it withered in me.
The beauty we had, now nobody knows,
‘Cause the pedals just fell off my San Antonio rose.

I’ll tend to the garden, though she’s gone,
Whisper her name as the days move on.
But deep in my heart, her memory grows,
Though the pedals just fell off my San Antonio rose
